Paperbabe Stamps Challenge ~ #162 Anything Goes

 Hello Everyone 

It's time again for a new Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #162

I have a postcard sized journal page to share with you today, 
with stencilled background I've layered a Paperbabe Stamps face 
fabric torso and cut out template hair coloured in with pencil. 


Her hair represents a ray of sunshine against the stormy background, 
finished with stitched edging & quote from the Flourish and Grow set.

Come and share your *Anything Goes* creations over HERE

Dearest neighbour..

Hello creative friends, 

I hope you are all keeping well? 
What glorious weather we've been having, teamed with a 
couple of creative play days my weekend has been just perfect...
 
I've so many tags with techniques that never amount to anything, 
as my minds been drawn to creating something special for my dear 
neighbour's monumental 100 Birthday this year I've been playing 
with lots of ephemera and stamped TH tickets, adding a die cut 100. 
Funny thing is this stamp set is also SA's 100th Collection...


This napkin image reminds me of two little princesses, with big sis wearing 
the crown. I'm sure my neighbour will be wearing her finest hat in celebration 
of her special day when she receives her birthday greeting from the Queen.


Losing myself in the finer details of hand stitching, buttons and brads, 
butterflies, flowers and lace, I attached a triple ring clasp creating a 
tag flip journal, now all those extra ideas can stay close to hand..


Thank you so much for stopping by today
wishing you all safe sunny days 

Creative wishes

Paperbabe Challenge #99 ~ Picture Inspiration

Hello Creative Friends, 

It's time for another Paperbabe Stamps Challenge... 
Use the image/colours below to inspire you and come share 
your creative flare with us over HERE. You have two weeks 
to play with a prize for one lucky random org winner..


Inspired by the colours and shapes within the picture 
I've combined both Dinky Male and Female Stamp sets 
to create a calico patch for my fabric journal. 

Here's what I did and how it came to be..

First stamping the female face and torso onto heavy calico I 
secured the face mask template over the stamped image to protect it. 
Then positioned partly over the mask I stamped the male image.


When the mylar mask is removed you can see it leaves a seamless 
impression bringing the stamped female face into the forefront.


Painting the skin tone and features, I used the Pompadour hair style 
from the Dinky Male Face Templates to draw in the hairline and torso.


The pompadour template 2: acts as a guide to help add all the detail.


For the female I used the pony & bun hair template but decided against 
adding the ponytail as I liked the look of the hair all tied up loosely. 



The Fun alphabet outline stamp set helps create the words, 
painted with stripes in keeping with the picture inspiration.


Along with candy striped paper and patch sewn onto the page 
I began adding a colour inspired selection of embellishments..


With it's sweet sugar colours there's plenty of white space  
to add more texture and detail but I think for the moment 
I'll leave my fabric journal page just the way it is..


There is plenty more to see over on the Challenge blog HERE 
we look forward to seeing your take on this fortnights 

Thank you so much for stopping by today. 

Take care & stay safe.
